Page 6 of Alexander's Heart

I take a deep breath because Davies is going to want to get out of that bed as soon as I tell him everything.

“Commander, I’m not going to sugarcoat it, Lily is in a bad way, we’ve lost her twice already, she coded on the Haw–”

“NO! Is she alive son, you better fucking tell me Lily is okay or I’m gonna lose my shit and tear this place apart.”

“Doc had to rapid transfuse from Blake to Lily as he has B- blood, if he wasn’t with us,” I shake my head, he was with us. “Doc wouldn’t have gotten her back and just as we were exiting the elevator, Lily’s heart stopped again and the team were working on her while rushing to the operating room.”

Davies looks at me intently, breathing heavily, and his heart monitor shows he’s not coping with this information.

“You need to breathe, Commander your monitors are about to start alarming.”

“Don’t tell me to fucking breathe, my baby is injured and, well... fuck.”

As much as wants to keep arguing he follows my request and starts to breathe.

“I don’t know any more information; Davies I came straight here where Doc told me to wait, I needed to see you both instead of going insane in a surgical waiting room and Doc knew it. Lily’s only just hanging on, that fucking asshole has tortured her, both her lungs have collapsed, one of them being punctured, the bruising was black all over her side. We found Lily curled up shackled to a wall, with her bottom half exposed, and Trickle was pulling up his pants.”

“Fuck, no, I’m gonna fucking kill him.” Davies grinds.

A tear escapes, as I look to Alexa and check if she can hear me.

“I don’t know if he raped her, she was unconscious, barely breathing when we got to her, and critical. Doc worked fast to try and stabilize her while Cuddy worked fast to release her from the shackles so we could transport her. I shot that fucker in the left shoulder and both knees, but I want him fed to the fucking sharks Commander.”

“Lily is strong, Harrington, you know this. Is Blake, okay?” Davies asks, concern in his voice but more under control.

“Yes, he’s giving the staff hell, but I ordered him to have his transfusion, then he’ll be sent to us once he’s leveled out.”

“Good, now you said Caroline was alive? What the hell is going on with her?”

“We’re not sure at this stage but Tiny will get answers, she’s in a bad way herself, she looked strung out and withered. She’d been beaten also, and from the brief look I got of her it looked like she’s been through all types of hell for a long time. Betty is there which is good; Charlie Chief is coordinating with Alpha and Delta while we concentrate on our girls.”

Davies lets out a low whistle and gently shakes his head, “What did you find out from Janelle?”

“That is a whole other mystery, it appears that she may have been drugged. Doc got lab reports back and it showed heavy amphetamine use for years, Doc has a suspicion that if it’s true her rage and personality change may have been drug induced.”

“Fucking hell, that’s... what the fuck has been going on in bum fuck nowhere?” Davies is just as shocked as I was.

“Davies, Lily might be pregnant, my angel was conscious briefly before she crashed; all she said was baby. That’s all we know at this stage, but Doc didn’t seem surprised when I told him what she said.”

I notice Davies nodding his head in agreement, he too is not looking shocked at the news.

“Do you know something I don’t?” I ask Davies.

“I suspected yesterday when Lily was vomiting so violently, I’ve never seen a tummy turn like Lily’s was. It would make a whole lot of sense.”

“If she is Davies, I don’t know how the baby will survive, the trauma to her side and what we could see of her abdomen was severe. She was black and blue and Doc suspected a ruptured spleen or liver. I don’t know if Lily will survive let alone our baby, and if she does pull through... and there is a loss it will devastate her. I’m sick to my fucking stomach with worry but instructed Doc to do whatever is needed to save her life.”

I hang my head and shake it, “I can’t lose my angel, Davies, she is everything to me, and Alexa.”

Davies voice takes an authoritative edge, “You will not lose Lily, that girl is meant for this earth, she will survive. Doc is with her and that kid is a fucking gun with a scalpel, he will save Lily and quite possibly your baby, have faith in him, Doc is the best.”

I nod because I know he’s right, Doc is the best, and if my angel doesn’t survive, I know that Doc would have done everything in his power to save her.

“I need to close my eyes, Son, wake me when there’s any news.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Davies closes his eyes and instantly looks ten years older, laid up in a damn hospital bed, it’s a site you never want to see; your Commander whether still active or not is still that, Davies is like a father figure to all us boys, his boys, and that will never change. I swing my gaze over to Alexa and she has fallen asleep with a little pencil still in her hand, I stand and walk over and lay her back and when I try to remove the pencil she tightens her grip, okay princess, you keep your little sword of love.
